Take control of your
photo metadata
Exif Forge is a fast, native desktop app for reading and writing metadata on photos and videos. Edit dates, GPS, copyright, camera settings — and more — across 15+ file formats.
Local processing · No cloud · No account required
Full EXIF, IPTC & XMP editing
A three-panel workspace: file browser, full-resolution preview with map, and a structured metadata panel. Read and write every field — RAW originals are never modified.
Batch editing
Select dozens of files and apply metadata changes to all of them in a single operation.
GPS & location
View photo locations on an interactive map and edit coordinates with decimal precision.
Privacy mode
Strip all metadata from a file in one click. Share photos without leaking camera or location data.
Presets
Save your most-used metadata sets as named presets and apply them instantly to any file.
See where every photo was taken
An interactive map plots coordinates across a whole shoot. Drag the pin to correct a spot, switch to satellite, or paste exact latitude and longitude to set it precisely.
Edit a whole shoot at once
Select dozens of files and set copyright, artist, keywords or city for all of them in one pass. Changes apply atomically — either every file succeeds or none do.
Your photos stay on your machine. The app reads and writes metadata locally — internet is only used to validate your license key and check for updates.
